I am an entrepreneur who enjoys developing marketing materials for businesses. I like to practice making logos, brochures, flyers, and business cards. This is my favorite logo I have created because it is simple but unique. It's an art piece that catches people's attention and makes them want to learn more about the business.

Being with my family and going to the beach inspires me most. The ocean, sunshine, and time together make my imagination come alive. At the beach, I dream up magical creatures, big adventures, and beautiful worlds. My art shows how love, nature, and special family time can stir wonder and fill my mind with ideas to create.

"I am an 11 year old boy who loves to read, write, take care of my pets and have countless opportunities of fun. I drew this because it makes me feel happy, so calm, and so at home." These are Dylan's words. As his mama, I delight in witnessing his weekly commitment to private art classes on Outschool since February, 2024. He has grown so much in his art skills since the beginning of his Outschool art journey. He was inspired to draw this piece while taking a paleontology classon Outschool!

I have a passion for art and I love to motivate people. I made this piece to inspire people who are going through rough times and feel lost. This piece made me feel happy and inspirational!

I love the beach and the way palm trees calmly blow in the breeze

I am 6 years old. I learned about Cardinals in my art class and they are colorful, cheerful, and pretty like my parakeets at home!

I took inspiration from the sea and the creatures inside it. it inspired me to draw a picture of a turtle. My favorite animal. Thank you

This is a picture of animals, mystery, and and mythoical creatures. I saw this image in a dream, and it felt right to draw it. I used graphite pencil, pen, and watercolors for the picture.

I love creating art in any way I can, in this piece I used oil pastels which give you the ability to blend colors, create depth and even highlights

My piece is a hand-illustrated Macbeth spellbook inspired by Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Created on Procreate and developed into an animation, it reimagines the play from the perspective of the Weird Sisters. I began using Procreate during COVID-19, shaping my digital style and technique. Each page reflects Macbeth’s shift from honor to moral decline, using symbolism such as blood and animal imagery to show his loss of humanity and the lasting consequences of ambition.

This is the original version of Godzilla. During his first appearance in 1954 he was black and white, so I decided that using his original colors would keep a faithful design to his debut appearance, and would also feel original for today's standards. Without his first appearance and that original idea of him the franchise of Godzilla would have never started in the first place, so choosing this design is meant to give respect to the first model that ever came out.

I like to look at old houses and think about the people who have lived in them. It makes me sad to see old houses be demolished. It seems not many people care. I wish I could save all the old houses; thats why drew this old house in the yard it was meant to be in. I hope that you enjoy thinking about who lived in this house. for my drawing I used: acrylic paint, oil pastel, and colored pencil. It took me 4 weeks to complete-i made the house bent and uneven to make it look old but cozy.

I am an artist, I love painting! A slice of cake inspired my piece. I feel proud of my hard work

After a fire ripped through my community and burned my home, I discovered Mary Cassatt. Mary was not only an inspiring woman, she was also a woman who allowed people to have "modern wings." She inspired others to soar above expectations and young girls to take hold of their futures. In her murals, Mary depicted women defying boundaries set for them and this brought me a sense of belonging. In a world of hurt and hatred, community can be defined by women, for women, and with women at the center.

Batman is the original style of comics art that inspired the anime that I like to draw. -Phoenix

I like art and have been doing art on Outschool for two years. I have two rats. I made this piece because it was fun.

Hi I am Hannah and really love. drawing. I was inspired to draw this for my grandparents that live in the country for Christmas.

I was inspired to draw this piece because I love the stars and I have always wanted to go on a camping trip. I think the stars are like little tiny campfires because they're always sparkly and they always sparkle up the night... even when the moon isn't out! I like art, when you feel confident in yourself, your art lights up your heart. When you listen to yourself, your art shines like the stars no matter who you are- you are unique,and have a gift. I hope you liked this message.:)

Hi, My name is Kiara. I love designing fashion, and I have loved Victorian and Japanese styles for a while, so I combined them! I hope you like this piece!

This piece of art means something to me. I love that every Monday my family plays games. Some are funny, some need dice. But any game at game night is fun!

My family took an RV trip around the US and we saw this pretty waterfall. I was taking a landscape drawing class and was excited to incorporate what I was seeing and what I was learning.

My name is Bronwyn and I am an aspiring concept artist. This art piece was inspired by J.C. Leyendecker’s work and other illustrative artists.

My piece is inspired by the Chinese New Year festivals and it makes me happy because it got me a good grade in art class.

This piece was inspired by my best friend who loves chess, although I know next to nothing about it, he talks about it a-lot and it inspired me to draw this piece and learn a bit more about chess and Bobby Fischer in the process. :)

This piece is a representation of me and is intended to show how the song must end but that it still has beauty. I hope that it tells a story in the eyes of others.

As a young child, I was terrified of tornadoes and extreme weather. As I've grown older, I've fallen in love with it instead! I now want to become a meteorologist and storm chaser. I hope to help save lives through accurate weather prediction. And I hope to inspire young people like myself who are terrified of strong storms they can't control. Tornadoes, like the El Reno tornado of May 31, 2013, inspire me to overcome my greatest fears!

A nice person who loves to draw Anime and other cartoon characters. She said her inspiration came from seeing the shading and the detail of creating the piece. She said the drawing made her happy. We live in Washington, DC, not Washington state.

My favorite animal is a dolphin. I was inspired by the Artemis II launch that I watched. My picture makes me feel like anything is possible when dolphins fly!

I learned how to draw this white charcoal piece, from my art teacher, Miss Lisa. When I was done, I didn't even recognize it was mine! I like cats. I also like to sing, read, draw, and write. I hope you like my piece! Signed, Alena.

I am a lover of Japan and anime and love art. The characters are cool and I love their faces they make and how happy they look. I love using markers to make my drawings look real and make my art pictures for decorating my room so it can be like my own cool anime place!

Hi, I'm Kefira! This piece was inspired by my beloved bunny, Miss Baby Bunson (but we just call her Bunson). She passed away recently and I wanted to take this wonderful chance to honor her (rest in peace, Bun-Bun). She was a very sweet, lovable bunny and I feel that this artwork really captures her adorably curious self. I will cherish this piece forever and hang it in my room as soon as I get a frame!

I am a multi media artist, sometimes I’m sewing, sometimes I’m drawing, and sometimes I’m sculpting. This is my most recent piece, she is a bengal tiger, her name being a reference to life of pi’s bengal tiger Richard Parker. She makes me feel peace, she is content with comfort but she still looks for things other people won’t see.

My art piece is inspired by the ocs from the book i am making.

I love the show and he is my favorite character.

I'm a reader. I love dogs, so I wanted to draw one for this contest. My piece was inspired by one of my dogs named Spotty. My drawing makes me feel happy because dogs are really special to me.

Hi, I'm Artemis, and I enjoy making art! I'm a bit of what some people would call a "weird kid", and I'm actually proud of that, because I'm "weird" because I make dragon puppets! I also animate and make short comics. The inspiration for this piece was the crunching that the leaves made when I walked, and the beauty of nature. I'm really proud of this piece, because it's the first time I've used this artstyle with still life. It's like the art is telling me to go on a walk in the forest!

I painted this to capture the simple joy of a small patch of flowers. I used watercolor to give them a soft but colorful and and bright feel, along with a simple bee to give life.

My English name is Murphy I play baseball and is a big fan of dodgers. Once I watched “Interstellar” I am interested in planets so I create this to show how small humans and civilizations are to the universe. this makes me feel joyful because I love to express my feeling to others this artwork gives me a feeling of awe.

I love magical and whimsical characters. I wanted a character that embodied things I loved about myself and things I loved about magical characters.

When i grow up i want to build robots so i decided to design one that i will build later on. I am also very happy with it and the work i put in to do it.

I love sports and art. I usually draw and paint with water color but was inspired by my older brother to start painting in procreate. The rain storm makes me feel annoyed and stressed until I see the rainbow. First I’m sad because the rainbow is broken, but I notice the rainbow can still reform so then I am happy because it means the sun is coming up. I hope you will enjoy my work.

Hi! My name is Oliver, and recently I've been super fixated on the game Undertale so I decided to draw my favorite character from it, Mettaton! This drawing was my first attempt at doing vibrant/shiny rendering and I am very proud at how I did. Undertale as a game is super comforting to me as the story is so compelling and easy to come back to. The fact my art has now reached the level of being able to portray one of my favorite characters *ever* makes my heart so happy. Thank you for reading 🖤

My name is Joslyn I've always loved art and trying different art forms or drawing styles, I also really love indie horror games like Mucorales or Pumpkin panic. I wanted to give my piece a more eerie or melancholic vibe which is why I used darker colors for it. I was inspired by how unicorns were originally depicted in stuff like The last unicorn and how the unicorns look slimmer, and just look more majestic when their less bulky and horse-like. I'm very proud of my piece and i hope you like it.

This piece came straight from my heart and it makes me feel sad for the kids that don't know when earthquakes come and they are just trying play at the park.

Hello! I was inspired by my drawings to love my life everyday. I say that because of the way the drawings make me feel! This took me 2-3 days. I would like to be an artist one day. Thank you.

My name is Hannah. I love to draw, but I don’t usually draw birds. The thing that inspired my piece was that I loved spring, so I thought putting a phoenix in a spring background would look beautiful, and whenever I look at it, I feel calm.

I was inspired by the way ancient civilizations used the night sky to know where they were going. I wanted to convey that in my drawing, but also how things might look messy and complicated until you look at the big picture, like the art style of Starry Night.

Me my brother and our friend had a craving to do legos and we worked on this build for about a week. We all agreed this is the best Lego build we’ve ever made. And worked very hard on it because there was a big storm and we couldn’t go outside.

This painting represents the love I have for animals. And yes, I’m the kind of kid who watches a bird feeder for hours. When I spot a small sparrow, I don’t view him as an annoyance; I see him as a creature who has friends, a life, and a personality. This mountain lion’s gaze shows the trauma he’s experienced, the loss he has endured, and life he has known. It inspires me to know that even when life is tough, there is always a way out.

Hi, my name is Ernaila, and I drew this because ice cream is my favorite dessert.

I am Vania I like draw by myself I wanted to make a realistic eye because I wanna try something new and because it inspired me to can do it even if its my first time and I feel really happy that I did something new it toke a hour or 2 to do it and I hope you like it!

The magic and myth of mermaids inspires my imagination.

My rendition of Starry Night Sky makes me feel nostalgic. When I first saw it as a little kid I was curious about how the swirls were painted. I always wanted to try it out for myself. I felt if I tried I would be able to paint it in a way that tells a story about me, who I am.

Hello, my name is Aiden. My inspiration is about positivity overcoming negativity. My story lead to tough times in my life, and leading to negativity consuming me. I was drowning in it. I needed help, and I did get help. I was able to be free from the chains that held me tight. It may leave you with a scar, but what shapes you into what you are now, and I have some. I thank God for being there for me, and everyone else. Hear my message: positivity will defeat negativity, let it shine in you.

My name is Mila and I'm 12 years old. I love art, and this piece is inspired by the YA novel I'm currently writing. The two girls have yet to meet in real life, but feel a pull toward each other.

My name is Stella; my Outschool teacher Mrs. Roxy referred me to participate in this showcase. This art was inspired by a favorite character of mine from a show I like. This piece was created using, colored pencils, ink, and markers. I feel happy and proud when I look at it!

I have always wanted to be an artist, and animals and designs like the one in my piece have been a major inspiration for me. When I began drawing this piece, it was not meant to be a “big thing”, but as my mind wandered and my hand took over, I found myself carefully layering colors and brushstrokes that I had not ever known I could create. It transcended simply sitting and thinking of what to create, and I know more awaits me in a future where I am inspired to create more extraordinary pieces.

~ Sun and Moon, sisters in soul, pass each other in a fleeting moment of wonder; dancing in starlight. ~ Hello, thank you for reading this and viewing my art! My name is Madeline and I've always loved making art, but I didn't start digital art until 2020 during the pandemic. Since then I have enjoyed following my art journey wherever it has led me. The inspiration for this piece came from eclipses as the concept has always fascinated me, and I recently viewed one from my backyard.

Hi! I am James, and I like to express myself through art. I drew this specific piece a few years back for a project at my school. It is supposed to be an artistic self-representation, filled with patterns and objects that I like or that are important to me. Once the outline was completed, I separated the head into sections (some are special shapes). Then I slowly and carefully filled the entire large page with my artwork, using a pen to draw over it all again a second time! I'm proud of my work.

My name is Hunter and I enjoy drawing anime. I have taken anime classes on Outschool over the years. Some of my favorite classes have been Shine: Drawing Club: Drawing Anime Step by Step for New Beginners with Ms. Roxy, Epic Character Art: Premier Sketching With a Pro Artist with Ms. Roxy, and Anime 101-Anime and Manga Drawing for Beginners with Ms. Harriet. The classes have really helped me improve my drawing skills and I am excited to continue on my art journey.

Hi my name is Mizra, I am 8yo and I like superhéroes, I started with this video since I observe a stop Motion class in outschool, I am trying my best to win This competition and be a superheroe. I had a lot of fun making this movie.🐥🐶🐱🐸

I love drawing, and my favorite mythical animals are dragons, and I feel confident about Drago.

When Marnie was there is a Studio Ghibli movie you can find on HBOmax. I like Marnie because she's really pretty and fun to draw.

Hi, my name is Dmitri. My grandpa taught me how to do stained glass several years ago. I love marine biology and anything having to do with oceans. I have a friend who has a salt water aquarium and her angelfish was born without a tail. I created my very own pattern for this stained glass window. It was a lot of fun to work on and have to learn where my glass points needed to be.

My name is Addison. I was inspired to draw and color a snail rainbow because me feel happy.

This piece was inspired by a dream I had where I was walking through a garden of mushrooms with eyes and the sky was clear blue, so I decided to make a piece of my dream from memory so I can remember that dream over and over again. It reminds me of the days where I always loved to play with plants and flowers in my back yard. That activity always made me happy.

Hello, my name is Phoenix. I do not do art that often, but I do enjoy it. I did this in my preferred art style (the only one I do) which is a standard pencil and a fine point pen (also one of those super satisfying clicky eraser things). The thing that inspired me to draw this (besides the prize) was I was just thinking of what to draw, and I just started drawing, and bing-bada-boom, I had a picture.

Hello my name is Sara. This dragon makes my feel confident. I really like this drawing because of how unique and cute it is.

“The Greek God” artwork is a…well an artwork of Eros the Greek god of love, people know him now as Cupid. Plus I am also a fan of Percy Jackson and my love for Greek mythology and Percy Jackson inspired this artwork (I also made this word near Valentine’s Day) I hope my artwork is accepted and appreciated. =)

This piece was inspired by my love for the anime One Piece and my favorite drink Olipop. My art piece was made with acrylic paint markers.

I like drawing and making wire art. I also like heelying and soccer. I have my Heelys on right now.

I love bunny. Bunny is the cutest, and she loves to read! I first drew Bunny on its way home, but I don't know what to draw outside. So I drew Bunny reading a book in her cozy home. I am very happy about my work.

I am 11 years old and I enjoy photography. My mom says I have a good photography eye and see things in pictures to catch certain moments.

I like to draw colorful and unique people. I don't really think too hard. I just draw whatever I think looks cool. It makes me feel happy to draw all kinds of things.

I enjoy Lego's, reading, building science kits, gaming, nature, and spending time with my family and friends. I also like baseball, swimming, diving, and taekwondo. My art piece was inspired by my uncle. It is colorful with a splash of teeth added in to make the piece Awsome with a dinosaur twist.

When I was young, my mom was cutting a bell pepper and was greeted by a moaning face. I found the photo she took of it when I was searching for a reference. Bell peppers don't eat meat, but this one does.

I enjoy making art because it gives me a creative outlet, and I love designing characters. I like how I was able to use realism, and I enjoyed how it turned out.

Sonic is my favorite character. He is so fast and I love drawing him.

Hey! I’m Rae (Raven) What inspired me to make this is my passion for flowers I love flowers so much! ❤️💐

Hello! My name's Sybil, and I make a bunch of OCs when I'm bored! I played a game called Cookie Run: Kingdom, and there were two new costumes that were in the game which was a playwright and actor. I got inspired by it, and drew some costumes for my two OCs - Pluvia and Tempestade (Tempestade is male). I always got a feeling of calmness and solemness when i look at the art. It does feel relaxing, like a calm dance.

As a cancer survivor, I am always trying to make up for my own perceived loss of time during treatment. Often I work like a machine - balancing school, dance, kickline, acrobatics, work, art and time with my friends. Similarly, dance requires perfection. There is no gray. You either nail it or you don’t. This creates tremendous stress which I struggled with for many years. The juxtaposition of the dancer and the machinery represents how I am overwhelmed by my own expectations.

This piece was inspired by my mom because it is a bunch of things that she loves in one painting. It is also good practice because I want to be an artist one day.

my name is Elisha and I like science. I was inspired by my love of science and it makes me feel happy and proud of what I've done

This piece was crafted by Justice, using clay and paint on canvas. It is a map of The Kingdom of Epsilon, inspired by their book, The Courdhem Circus. I love to read and it was fun to bring the story to life!!

I am Lydia and this is my 5th year of doing art. I was inspired to create this piece by my pet cats who I love very much. The only trouble was that I also love dragons! The end result was a dritten. This little guy stares at the ocean ready to fly fearless as the lightning crashes and the waves roll over the rock he is standing on. I really enjoyed creating this piece, and I hope you enjoy seeing it.

I was inspired by all of the media coverage on dyes and chemicals in our food. It’s a serious topic but I decided to present a message about how I don’t like all of the added unnecessary chemicals by use of satire.

I was inspired by a picture of a bird that my instructor used in my High School Art class and my desire to increase my skill at drawing realistic subjects. I decided to use pointillism to illustrate it because I really enjoy that technique.

This is a picture of my Australian Shepherd, Theo. He is wearing a beanie while resting his head on a table. My dad is giving him a treat for being such a good boy. I painted this because I love my goofy dog.

This piece shows what it's like to be me. My brain is wired differently than many people’s, so I notice things and understand the world in my own way. Like me, the figure is vulnerable, but also calm and focused. The shapes above me are the things that help me orientate and stay attached to the world, like time, patterns, and space. Showing the world what it's like to be me makes me feel strong.

When I see a beautiful night sky, it inspires my creativity. I love doing digital art and the stars twinkling in the sky feels magical to me.

Fuller

My name is Edie and I drew this during one of my art classes (Mythical Creatures Drawing Club). I have been drawing since I was little and I am very proud of this picture.

This was fun to draw because it combines two different elements of under water life into one magical creation.

Hi, my name is Charlotte! This is my drawing featuring my OCs named Cameron (bottom) and Hyun (top). They went through a lot together, but Cameron couldn't save Hyun from the things and people hurting him. Cameron now has to live with the possibility that one day he will slowly forget Hyun's face, then his voice, and then him altogether.

I love art and nature! My favorite place to visit is the beach and I have a special place in my heart for sea turtles.

my art work was inspired by a field of flowers for the background and I love my cat so I had to put her in there.

I'm Dan from Massachusetts and I made this piece to show what my environment for creativity looks like. I sit at my desk and look outside from my window and think of things to make(painting, drawing, or digital artwork like this). I thought this would be the perfect way to show what creativity can look like.

This piece is inspired by my two characters, Cecil and Penelope who are dancing to one of the greatest pleasures in life, Music. Penelope is the goddess of the Sum and Justice. Cecil is the god of Wonderment

Hi! I'm Eleanor. This piece of art was inspired by my little sisters because they like to be adventurous and I feel like one can be the sunshine and one can be the water in the ocean. It makes me feel happy because I feel like the sun represents hope and love, and the water symbolizes freedom and movement like my little sisters. I hope it makes other people feel happy too because I feel like the art stands for friendship because there's two people hanging out together, and anything is possible.

I competitively figure skate. I am at the ice rink almost everyday for about 2 hours. People tend to underestimate figure skating, saying it's petty or materialistic. Or they're impressed, only seeing the stage and the dresses, not the work it took to get there. Hard work, perseverance, and effort all go into it. The friends, coaches, and supportive parents all play a role making even daily practice wonderful. There's always something about stepping out onto the ice that always feels magical.
